Ceasefire Chaos: Russia's Eastern Assaults Defy Truce Claims
Despite announcing a three-day ceasefire, Russian troops continued assaults in Eastern Ukraine, conflicting with their claim. Ukrainian military spokesperson Viktor Trehubov reported attacks after the supposed ceasefire time, while Ukraine's general staff noted a significant number of clashes along the frontline.

In a surprising move, Russian troops persistently attacked Ukrainian forces in the east, contradicting Moscow's announcement of a three-day ceasefire effective at midnight, Moscow time (2100 GMT) on Wednesday. Ukrainian military spokesperson Viktor Trehubov confirmed ongoing assaults in various regions post-ceasefire initiation.
Adding weight to these reports, Ukraine's general staff disclosed figures showing an escalating conflict. They recorded 139 clashes along the entire frontline by 10:00 p.m. Ukrainian time (1900 GMT) on Wednesday and noted a rise to 196 clashes by 8:00 a.m. Thursday.
This development raises questions about the ceasefire's credibility and highlights the ongoing volatility in the region as both sides face accusations of non-compliance with declared peace initiatives.
